Foot traffic

He could have commandeered the first seat on the bus but Mike Singletary preferred to walk the 2 miles from the Raiders' practice field in Napa to the 49ers' team hotel.

Dedicated walker that he is, it was not surprising to see Singletary hoofing it from the Marriott Hotel to the Embassy Suites following Tuesday morning's joint practice session.

"Nice little walk," Singletary said upon arrival at the Embassy Suites, two staff members in tow.

Singletary regularly puts in several laps around the football field on game days, home and away, as well as the practice field at Santa Clara.

If he ever chose to walk across the country in the name of some charity, it would not be surprising to see Singletary collect people along the way, like football's version of Forrest Gump.
